Great discussions at Aircraft Interiors Expo 2024! Our VP, Connectivity, John Wade, was part of a #PEC2024 panel on innovative investment models for inflight connectivity. He explored solutions for a better passenger experience and airline success. Key takeaways: ➡️ The industry must push for a seamless in-flight experience where information and entertainment cater directly to customer needs. By integrating connectivity with seatback systems, we can personalize messaging, offer real-time updates, and curate content that keeps customers engaged. ➡️ The days of generic airplane advertising are fading. Just like on the ground, passengers expect relevant and engaging content. We must move towards "content-specific advertising" that resonates with individual travelers. Want to learn more?

I'm excited about next week, where I will be co-presenting with Linn Smith. Our presentation will shed light on Michigan's pioneering efforts in the realm of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) infrastructure development. Join us as we delve into the realm of C-ITS architectures and wireless technology, revolutionizing communication with UAS/AAM Vehicles and fostering crucial coordination within the new mobility ecosystem. Our conversation will uncover how this innovative communication framework may be a tool to facilitate the exchange of vital information across a multimodal transportation network, enhancing collision avoidance measures, real-time infrastructure monitoring, and data augmentation. Here's a glimpse of what you can expect to learn from our presentation: 1. The imperative need for a robust communications framework in the AAM ecosystem. 2. A detailed overview of Michigan's phased approach to planning, testing, developing, and building the communications mesh network. 3. Insights into the technology underpinning this infrastructure and its diverse capabilities. 4. How the communications framework may pave the way for a wide array of safe and efficient new mobility operations. We're excited to be collaborating on this project alongside Michigan DOT, Jon Rimanelli, & the ASX Team. Stay tuned for more exciting updates! Additionally, if you're interested in connecting during the event, feel free to reach out to me, and we can schedule a time to meet up. Looking forward to networking and exchanging ideas! #FutureMobility #AdvancedAirMobility #WeAreWSP

One of the things we often forget about getting people to take transit more often is convenience. Your own car is (most of the time) the most convenient option. Adam Hill related two examples in this week's show where connections don't line up right, making it hard to get to work--or just get to your destination. If we want people to leave cars behind, it has to be simple, easy, and convenient. If there is the least amount of friction, the personal car will win.

🚗 📻 We're racing to safeguard radio's relevance in the era of the connected car. How? Our Connected Car Playbook was introduced at today's #MediaSummit with presentations by Cilla Benkö; tomas granryd, Mirko Stular and Tanja Huether, and is a collaboration with EBU Members, including Sveriges Radio; ARD; BBC; and Radio France. This is a united call to action for how radio can - and should - be easy to find in cars. We want to mobilize the radio community to engage with the motor industry and secure their commitment. And, with radio being the most listened-to form of entertainment in most European countries, we're ready to work with the automotive industry to give audiences - their customers - what they want.

The 🚘. If we in the audio/radio industry can’t keep engaging people there, we are in serious trouble. It’s also very detrimental to citizen’s needs of smooth access to news and sevice information. Therefore, it’s so important that we as PSM - within the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) - have laid out a common Playbook, a clear roadmap for how we see trustworthy audio/radio content being distributed in the future. The initiative is spearheaded by tomas granryd from SR, which makes us immensely proud. Sveriges Radio already provides our app and CarPlay users with a 15 minute-long, updating automatic mix of the most important local traffic, national news, local news and sports before the listener is seamlessly carried over to the live linear channel they prefer. We see loads of AI potential here going forward, more automated, personalised offerings, new conversarional search using voice etc. The audio future in the connected car looks bright, judging from all the possibilities.

❓❓ What challenges do visually impaired passengers face when using public transport? Our exhibitor and partner Trapeze DACH, in conjunction with the Swiss Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired, decided to investigate and, as a result, has developed an orientation and information system that is currently being rolled out across the Saarbahn bus fleet. 💡Find out more about this transport breakthrough, how it works and where you can see it in action: https://brnw.ch/21wH8m1
